IN MEDIC TUTISSIMUs.
BY R. J. BURDETTE.

Let other men wrangle and strive, And struggle, and scheme and contrive; For me 'tis djscreeter, and meeter, and
 sweeter to sit on the fence by myself; know that the scorn of the world At my meaningless mean will be hurled But have no measure, or leisure, or pleasure,
 to struggle for power or pelf There are fellows whose greatest delight Is to hunt for the midst of the fight, And jostle and shoulder the older and bOlder,
 and knock out tile timid and slim; So if I, of peace loving mind,
 To roost on the fenct am inclined, Small odds if they hissIme, or kiss me, or miss
 me, for keeping up out of the swim. If ever go to the war,
 I'll go in the medical corps, And then while they're fighting, and biting,
 and smiting, and shedding bad language
 and gore;
 I'll turn from the strife abhor, Both sides of the field I'll explore, Where the wounded are creeping, and sleep
 ing, and weeping,
 Sweet balm in their hurts I will pour. And will be mighty liable to get my head kicked of both sides for it, too; so reckon I might as well take twohanded club and wade in with the crowd, first as last.-Brook- LUp EdOle.
